From reading that, though, it looks like the ISP in question also has its own telephone product (after all, the quote in the article is that they are a "North Carolina service provider that calls itself the '17th largest phone company' in the US"
In which case, the fine may stem from the anti-competitive nature of blocking their competitor rather than simply because they were blocking some sort random service.
In other words, what juice would the FCC have against MomNPopISP.com who decided to block VoIP?
